It typically inventories devices and systems, scans for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, reviews firewalls, wireless, remote access and user permissions, checks patching and backups, and may include a penetration test. The result is a prioritized list of risks and fixes. Businesses in regulated industries, or those that have grown or changed systems, benefit most.

You&#8217;re aware of how impactful your network is on the functionality of your business, but do you know what would happen to your organization in the event your network was breached by a cybersecurity attack? How many customer and employee records would be at risk? Would your organization be notified of a network breach? How much would it cost to fix the problem? Would your IT team be equipped to respond swiftly and get things back to normal?<\/p><p>Unfortunately, many business owners do not know the answers to these questions. And yet, cybersecurity breaches are on the rise, posing serious risks to businesses of all sizes and across all industries. In order to protect your business, a network security assessment can help measure the impact of a network cyber security attack and evaluate your business\u2019s current response protocols to such an

vulnerabilities, potential risks, and assets that may be compromised during a cybersecurity attack. In addition, a network assessment helps business owners understand how their business and systems would be affected in the event of a network security incident. By giving business owners a comprehensive view of their network and network security, network security assessments can help business owners make informed decisions on proactive measures and procedures to better protect their systems.<\/p><p>Network security assessments vary, from vulnerability assessments which help organizations understand where their network weaknesses are to penetration tests, in which a mock attack is enacted to see how systems react. The kind of assessment your business needs will depend on a variety of different factors unique to your circumstances and system. No matter what kind of network security assessment your business receives, you will get important details on the health and well-being of your systems in order to create a safer network.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bac1cf8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bac1cf8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_benefits_from_a_network_security_assessment\"><\/span>Who benefits from a network security assessment?\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3eb22c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3eb22c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An outside assessment sees what an in-house team has stopped noticing.<\/p><p>Every business, regardless of size, should prioritize network security.

If your business already has an in-house IT department, you might be wondering if they are able to perform your network security assessment. Although most IT departments are capable, experts agree that having an unbiased, third-party perspective can be extremely helpful in locating weak spots in the network and identifying potential risks.<\/p><p>If your business does not currently have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.is-t.net\/staffing\">IT staff<\/a>, a third-party provider can be contracted to perform a network security assessment and provide recommendations and service quotes based on what the assessment reveals. Whether your business chooses to use that provider for further services or not is up to you.<\/p><p>No matter what, the most important part of your network security assessment is ensuring that the provider is well educated in their field, experienced in network security, and trusted by other local businesses.<\/p><p><strong>What a network security assessment usually
